Ashford, AL — AMX Trucking, Inc. announced today that it is adding a flatbed specialized division to its fleet, expanding its service offering beyond Dry Van, Refrigerated, Drayage, Tanker and Intermodal. The move is slated to begin operations in the company’s Ashford, AL hub and will be available to drivers across its Georgia locations as well.
Founded in 1988, AMX has grown from a two‑truck operation into a multi‑service carrier that serves the eastern two‑thirds of the United States. The family‑owned company remains under the leadership of founder and CEO Scott White, with his son Collins White as President and COO and Taylor White as Chief People Officer. The new flatbed division is the latest chapter in a 36‑year history of steady expansion and diversification.
“When I started in 1988, I could not have imagined that the legacy I dreamed about would still be expanding 36 years later with my two sons, Taylor and Collins,” Scott White told reporters. “Passing on my industry knowledge and passion for AMX has been a great achievement. Seeing their dedication gives me confidence that AMX will continue to thrive for many years to come.” Collins White added, “We are excited to launch this new division, which will enhance our ability to meet diverse customer needs with increased flexibility and efficiency. This expansion reinforces our commitment to providing top‑tier logistics solutions and positions AMX for ongoing growth and success.” Taylor White emphasized the community impact, saying, “This new division allows us to better serve our customers and continue providing quality jobs in our community. We are thrilled to expand our capabilities and support the growing needs of our valued customers.” Jeff Hopkins, VP of Specialized Operations, noted, “AMX is built on a foundation of hard work and dependability. With the introduction of our flatbed services, we will continue to uphold the excellent service that defines our reputation.”
What This Means for Drivers
Drivers holding a CDL‑A will now have access to flatbed routes that cover southeast regional, super‑regional and over‑the‑road (OTR) segments. The new division opens up opportunities for owner‑operators who can leverage the flatbed market’s higher freight rates while maintaining a flexible schedule. Trucking companies hiring in the Southeast can tap into AMX’s expanded capacity to move oversized and irregularly shaped cargo, reducing downtime and boosting revenue for drivers.
Industry Reaction
The addition of a flatbed specialty aligns with a broader trend of carriers diversifying services to meet FMCSA regulations and customer demand for specialized freight. As flatbed loads continue to grow in value, carriers who can offer reliable, efficient service—like AMX—are positioned to capture a larger share of the market. Industry analysts note that such expansions help mitigate the cyclical nature of the freight market by providing drivers with a wider array of hauling options.
